Steps

1 1/2 hours

1

Dissolve the yeast in the water. In a bowl, add the flour, eggs, salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and peeled shrimp.
2

Gradually add the yeast mixture to the bowl, mixing with a fork until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. If needed, add a little more water. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for about 1 hour.
3

After the batter has risen, heat the oil in a skillet or deep fryer. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil to form small fritters. They will puff up as they cook.
4

Fry until golden on all sides, then drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt, add some grated lemon zest, and serve hot.
